They are far better than all the other celeb-presented documentaries because you can see he's interested in the topics rather than just turning up and taking the money
I'm not particularly interested in America, but I love Rich Hall and I've seen all of the documentaries he's done. The way he presents makes the subject interesting and he's hilarious, so I'll definitely be watching again
Thanks for the reminder, V, I'd forgotten about it! Must set the box
Just as an aside, V, knowing you're a Eurodramaphile I saw a trailer with Victoria Coren-M for upcoming shows on BBC4 (of which the Rich Hall docu was one) and another was the new Swedish series Crimes of Passion. Looking forward to that! After Inspector Mentalbaldo perhaps?

I would have thought so
One of the three main actor in that series, Ola Rapace played Stefan Lindman in the first series of the Krister Wallander
Actually I enjoyed it the most of his documentries - they usually seem a bit too long at an hour and a half, but this didn't drag for me.
One small niggle though - I wasn't always sure when he was joking!
It was fine, I find I like them and are glad they are over - its all the shouting! Some good jokes and linkages when exploring the get rich quick schemes linked to the railway.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.
If I were to watch it more than once I'm sure I'd decide he was serious at certain junctures on first impressions but change my opinion on subsequent viewings.

I've enjoyed his previous documentaries.

Can't he find something else to do?
He's an American comedian... what else is he going to present documentaries about... Kazakhstan???
How about he does one about Britain. After all, we're the only ones who gives him TV work.
Actually, I used one of his documentaries as an example on Urban Dictionary, six years ago for just that situation.

Nice;-)
He doesn't actually make these documentaries on spec you know. They have to be commissioned.
Could you do us all a favour and try to be a bit less boring? Cheers.
Will definitely be watching he has been absent far too long.

Thank you, I enjoyed his other offerings on BBC4, actually something I will watch 'live' for a change.

I quite enjoyed it, but I think the law of diminishing returns may be setting in.

An hour would have been plenty.
